ROCKAWAY, NJ — A brand-new retail marijuana dispensary in Rockaway has officially opened for business, making it the first legal recreational marijuana dispensary in all of Morris County.
Kind Kush staged its grand opening earlier this month on Aug. 19 in the Rockaway Borough shopping center off of Route 46, which is anchored by Tractor Supply Co., after its preliminary soft launch in late July.
The dispensary received final approval from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission on July 18. “The wait was stressful, but we can finally say that we made it, and like we’ve said before, we’re beyond excited to meet you all in-person,” Kind Kush officials said.
According to the dispensary’s website, packaged goods include cannabis supplied in natural flower-bud form, pre-rolled joints, edibles, vape cartridges, as well as accessories such as lighters, rolling paper and grinders.
Customers must be at least 21 years old and may purchase no more than one ounce at a time.
Prices on their website range from $55 for 3.5 grams of pure indica, $38.67 for a five-pack of pre-rolls, and $30–$40 for edibles.
The dispensary is open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Although Kind Kush is the county’s first recreational dispensary, nearby communities are close behind, with the most anticipated coming to Morristown in the near future.
The business will be housed in a two-story building on Ridgedale Avenue, making it Morristown’s first cannabis dispensary. The initial decision and plan presentation occurred last month, but the final approval came on March 23.
Uma Flowers will be located at the former Sam’s Automotive Repair location, 102 Ridgedale Avenue.
The land is currently owned by the neighboring Morris Brick and Stone Co., which will lease it to Uma Flowers to run the cannabis business.
The store’s debut date was not specified during the plan’s presentation, but the dispensary will sell both recreational and medicinal marijuana.
Tejal and Priyanka Patel, the sisters-in-law behind Uma Flowers, told the Morristown planning board that they had worked in public health and medicine before launching the cannabis company around a year ago.
The dispensary will initially be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
In 2021, New Jersey became the 13th state in the nation to legalize marijuana, joining states like California, Colorado, Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts where marijuana is legal. The move came after a majority of New Jersey voters (more than 70 percent) supported legalizing marijuana, via a change to the state’s constitution.
Adults 21 and older have the legal right to consume cannabis in New Jersey. They must smoke in private spaces. However, landlords may prohibit weed consumption on their property.
